We have used openafs successfully in the past (with 2.4.x kernels too).

instructions or somesuch. However difficult to see without more info. 

Can you post the backtrace you get after the module loads? And 
in fact the boot output you get from Xen and XenLinux? 

(also: I presume openafs is known working on your configuration 
when not using Xen?)
